The rich man sat in his glpomy,
home,
As the silence-'dripped from the
ticking clock,
And thctvvilight dusk as-it set
tled down
Was full of faces that seemed
to mock. ' , s
Across the .way in an humble cot
A poor man romped on the kit
chen -floor
With rollicking children, whose
glad laugh
Drifted out through the poor,
man's door.
And the rich maa heard; and the
rich man sighed
"Ah ine, but it's lonesome with'
none to care;- "7
And the clink of the dollars is dull
and dead
Compared with the children's
, music there.'"
